Baseball: The Lions have seen a boost in numbers, especially from Ohio, which sends six players. The Lions often couldn’t field a team a year ago, finishing 0-11.

Now it’s a matter of getting everyone on the field and becoming more competitive. The Lions were outscored 72-6 in their first six games before Mother Nature rained on their spring parade again.

“We’ve got to learn how to play the ball game better and keep working. They’ve got big hearts and good determination,” coach Chuck Lovgren said. “Our first game was a week ago Monday, and we hadn’t been on the ball diamond yet. We played a game every night last week, and then on Saturday we practiced three hours to get some work in.

“I tell them if we can score some more runs and save some runs on defense, we can be right there and can win the ballgame. It’s something they’ve got to get used to doing, playing good competition and playing under pressure.”

Ohio provides all three of the seniors the co-op has in fourth-year member Wesley Rogers and newcomers David Beattie and Anthony Martinez.
